Jackboy threw gasoline on his long-running beef with Kodak Black by uploading a 2015 police interrogation video that appears to show the rapper cooperating with detectives about a robbery case in Florida.

The clip, which Jackboy posted to his Instagram Stories late Wednesday night, is labeled “Pompano Beach Room 1, Oct-15-15” and shows an 18-year-old Kodak speaking with law enforcement about a burglary.

At one point, Kodak tells the officer, “I’m not the bad guy,” and explains, “That’s just an image I’m portraying for my music.”

The detective presses him for more information about “the burglary,” and Kodak seems to give up details about the incident.

Kodak Black Arrested For Burglary In 2015

The resurfaced footage has reignited debate around the ever-sensitive topic of snitching in Hip-Hop, especially given Kodak’s past legal troubles. In October 2015, the Florida rapper was arrested on a laundry list of charges, including robbery, assault, kidnapping, false imprisonment and driving with a suspended license.

The robbery charge stemmed from accusations that he forced people into his car because he believed they had broken into his home. After his arrest, Kodak was released on bond but continued facing legal fallout.

In May 2016, he was picked up again on a warrant tied to the same case. He later pleaded no contest and received a sentence of one year of house arrest and five years of probation.

The timing of Jackboy’s post seems intentional, reigniting a feud that’s been simmering for years.

The two former collaborators were once close friends, but their relationship deteriorated in the early 2020s. Since then, they’ve traded insults online, dropped diss tracks and taken shots during livestreams. Jackboy has even mocked Kodak’s music career, suggesting he open a restaurant instead.

The tension between their camps has reportedly spilled into real life. In 2023, a drive-by shooting in Florida left several people injured and one woman dead.

Authorities linked the violence to their public feud, though Kodak has not been charged in connection with the incident.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is pressing the courts for speed, urging a federal appeals panel to fast-track his legal challenge before his four-year prison sentence runs its course.

The embattled Hip-Hop mogul’s legal team filed a motion Wednesday (October 29), with the Second Circuit Court of Appeals asking for an accelerated schedule. 

His attorney, Alexandra Shapiro, warned that the standard 18-month appeals process could outlast his sentence, rendering the appeal meaningless. “Mr. Combs’s appeal of his sentence does not become moot while the appeal is pending,” she wrote.

Diddy was found guilty in July of violating the Mann Act by arranging interstate prostitution, specifically by organizing sex parties — referred to in court as “freak-offs” — involving his girlfriends and male escorts. Though he was cleared of racketeering and sex-trafficking charges, U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian sentenced him in October to 50 months in prison and fined him $500,000.

Shapiro is pushing for all briefs to be submitted by March and oral arguments to be heard in April, a six-month timeline that would significantly shorten the usual process. 

Prosecutors have already signed off on the expedited timeline, which increases the likelihood of court approval unless scheduling issues arise.

Diddy is currently serving his time at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. He is scheduled to be released from federal custody on May 8, 2028, according to newly updated Bureau of Prisons records.

He has already received credit for a year served and could reduce his remaining time through good behavior or participation in rehabilitation programs.

A major component of the appeal focuses on the use of the Mann Act, a law originally passed in 1910 as the White-Slave Traffic Act. 

Shapiro described it as “an infamous statute with a sordid history,” arguing it was misapplied in Diddy’s case. The defense maintains that the prostitution charges were improperly added to the broader sex-trafficking indictment, which Diddy ultimately beat in court.

The court has not yet announced whether it will adopt the proposed expedited schedule.
